Profitable Graphic Designer: Clients, Business, Money, and Freedom

My Top 3 Lead-Generating Activities for Designers (That Actually Work) | EP 194


Listen Later

Most designers think they need more visibility to get clients, but visibility without clarity does nothing. I am breaking down the top three lead generating activities that have consistently brought me high quality clients as a brand and web designer, without chasing trends or burning out. These are the systems I still rely on today as a design business owner and creative CEO, and they work whether you are a freelance designer or running a small studio.

You will learn:

  • How to get graphic design clients using social media without posting nonstop
  • How to use LinkedIn to build real connections and referral partners instead of selling
  • What to post so clients understand your value beyond visuals
  • Why networking works when you stop trying to close and start building trust

Grab a cup of coffee, your notes, and get ready to rethink how you approach lead generation in your design business.
